Years isn’t just dog food, it's a Complete Nutrition System

Years stands out in the dog food industry by offering a tailored approach to nutrition for your dog. Each recipe is crafted by veterinary nutritionists and hand-cooked by our chefs using premium whole food ingredients, probiotic support, and topped with a Breed Health+ supplement. Our convenient pre-portioned servings and direct-to-door delivery makes mealtimes effortless. Unlike many commercial dog brands, we focus on your dog’s individual dietary needs and deliver their meals straight to your door, helping them live healthier and happier lives.

You can find valuable information on comparing dog foods from various sources in the UK. Consulting your veterinarian is an excellent first step, as they can provide personalised advice based on your pet’s needs. Additionally, websites like All About Dog Food, The Dog Food Advisor, and The Kennel Club offer comprehensive reviews and guides on UK dog food brands.

Consumer review sites such as Trustpilot provide unbiased comparisons, based on verified reviews, often focusing on quality, customer service and pricing. Many reputable pet food brands have detailed information about their products on their websites, including ingredient sourcing and nutritional content.

Social media platforms can be useful resources; following dog nutritionists and pet influencers can provide insights and tips. Joining online forums, such as UK-based dog owner communities or relevant Facebook groups, allows you to connect with other pet owners who share their experiences and recommendations.

AADF, also known as All About Dog Food, is an independent organisation dedicated to providing unbiased nutritional advice to dog owners, primarily through its dynamic dog food comparison directory. This platform allows users to compare various dog food brands based on a number of key factors, including ingredients, quality, and overall nutritional value. Each dog food is given a score that contributes to its overall rating, helping pet owners make informed decisions about their dog's diet.

The aim of AADF is to offer impartial and reliable guidance to ensure dogs are receiving top quality nutrition.

Under both the Wet and Fresh dog food category, Years are one of the highest rated with 96% on our Adult Meals and 95% on our Puppy Meals.

The price of dog food often reflects its quality, but it’s not always that straightforward. Generally, higher-priced dog foods use better ingredients, such as real meats and vegetables, rather than fillers or by-products. They also tend to offer more balanced nutrition tailored to specific needs, which involves more research and quality control.

Additionally, premium brands often provide personalised meal options or fresh food, contributing to their higher costs. However, it's important to remember that price isn’t the only indicator of quality; some affordable brands can still offer good nutrition. Always check ingredient labels to ensure you’re choosing the best food for your dog.

Both Years and Butternut Box are top contenders in the fresh dog food market. While Butternut Box provides a subscription meal plan with vibrant, gently cooked vegetables, it offers the same meals to all dogs. In contrast, Years delivers personalised fresh dog meals tailored to your dog’s specific needs, with full transparency on the quality of ingredients, added pre and probiotic support and supplements to support joint, digestion and skin health.

A key difference is storage. Butternut Box meals require freezer space, which can be tricky if you have limited fridge storage. In comparison, Years meals can be conveniently stored in your cupboard making them easier to take on the go.

Years and Tails both offer personalised dog food, but they differ significantly in quality and approach. Tails provides wet food and tailored dry kibble, neither of which contains fresh meat. Their wet meals consist of 51% ‘Meat and Animal Derivatives’ with high levels of added water, while their dry kibble contains less than 30% meat ingredients, relying on lower-quality protein sources.

In contrast, Years focuses exclusively on fresh, steam-cooked meals made with high-quality meats and packed with wholefood ingredients. We offer full transparency about what goes into each recipe. Every meal from Years also includes pre and probiotics to support better digestive health.

Years provides fresh, steam-cooked meals made with high-quality whole food ingredients, emphasising personalised nutrition and digestive health through pre and probiotics support.

In contrast, Royal Canin offers primarily dry kibble and canned food, formulated for specific health needs but often containing by-products and fillers. Royal Canin is a suitable choice if you're seeking an affordable dry food option, whereas Years is perfect for those wanting fresh, nutritionally complete meals for their dog.
